Boiling Places for Offerings

¹⁹ Then he brought me through the entrance, which was ^(A)at the side of the gate, to the north row of ^(B)the holy chambers for the priests, and behold, a place was there at the extreme western end of them. ²⁰ And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests ^(C)shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where ^(D)they shall bake the grain offering, in order not to bring them out into the outer court and so ^(E)transmit holiness to the people.”

²¹ Then he brought me out to the outer court and led me around to the four corners of the court. And behold, in each corner of the court there was another court— ²² in the four corners of the court were small^[a] courts, forty cubits^[b] long and thirty broad; the four were of the same size. ²³ On the inside, around each of the four courts was a row of masonry, with hearths made at the bottom of the rows all around. ²⁴ Then he said to me, “These are the kitchens where those who ^(F)minister at the temple ^(G)shall boil the sacrifices of the people.”
